The dynamic between variants Loki and Sylvie has been polarizing, but it’s hard to deny that the Goddess of Mischief is a compelling villain. “She’s got the great mentor quality that we were looking for in that character, but she can also be really tough, and that was really necessary for both aspects,” Captain Marvel co-writer and co-director Ryan Fleck told Entertainment Weekly of Annette Bening’s casting.
This extremely powerful Kree super-computer can assume the form of anything - like, say, Carol Danvers’ Air Force mentor Wendy Lawson, aka Mar-Vell, who was actually gender-swapped in translation from comics to screen. Valentina may not be a confirmed villain, but she’s definitely interested in that crowd, and she’s got the spy skills needed to pull one over on everyone. Though, some theories suggest she could be setting up MCU’s version of the Thunderbolts. Onscreen, as Polygon puts it, she’s like an “anti-Nick Fury,” assembling a team of powerful people with violent histories for, uh, we don’t exactly know what. In the Marvel Comics, she’s a triple agent with ties to S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and Leviathan.

Proxima Midnight is especially skilled with a spear (which, Marvel notes, is powered by an active star), but her loyalty to the Mad Titan makes her even scarier. There’s nothing scarier than an extremely competent villain - especially when she’s Thanos’ right-hand woman. But Eleanor has proven herself to be an extremely cool quasi-villain, who aligned herself with Wilson Fisk in a misguided attempt to protect her daughter.

As Lady Gaga once put it, “I don’t believe in the glorification of murder.
From a witch to a death-obsessed goddess and several quantum criminals, the lineup is full of dynamic characters who do some awful stuff - but who you can’t help but love anyway. But there are still plenty of wonderfully evil women villains in the pop culture canon, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has supplied some of the best. Plus, there’s the universally understood “bad guy,” whereas “bad girl” is something else entirely. Villainy often feels like a male-dominated industry, so much so that we have a shorthand for it.
